Abstract:
The invention relates to a vehicle (10), e.g. of the scooter type, comprising: a deck (12); tail gear (30) having single contact means (32); a steering assembly (16) comprising at least a steering column (18) having a first axis (X1), the first axis and the plane of the support forming a first angle (a1); nose gear (22); the nose gear being mounted to pivot relative to the deck about a second axis (X2); the steering column being arranged in such a manner that pivoting the steering column about the first axis causes the nose gear to pivot about the second axis; and the first and second axes sloping relative to each other, thereby defining a second angle (a2). The invention is characterized by the fact that the first angle (a1) is not variable while the vehicle is in use.
